Decide what to be...

and go be it. You are your greatest tool & You are your own worst enemy. Things are not always what they seem.
Today I thought I would take the time to find something inspiring. I warn you, it is a little long but it is worth a look. I hope you enjoy it and find your own way to reach out and acheive your dreams.

Busy little Bee

Hello all,
I have been very busy these past few weeks building new sets. I have finally finished one set and hope to bring a couple others to life in the next week. A few small fronts have been blowing through and I am getting super excited about Fall - can't wait to start shooting some Fall sessions! Here are a few photos from the bringing to life of the newest set set by me - The Princess and the Pea.

 

 Happy Friday!

Hiatus much?

Hello,
Whew, that was a good nap ;) Ok, So maybe it has been almost a year since my last blog post but here I am again. Just finished re-launching the website (www.lisablackdesigns.com), woot, woot!! Not much to say right now, just want to share the new business card, Oh yeah!

Strap Happy & Geeking Out!

So, I have been hunting for a camera strap recently, something funky, one of a kind possibly even comfortable *gasp*...(of course I went straight to Ebay and started looking for vintage). We all know how rare it is to come across a vintage gem that isn't trashed & overpriced or well, let's face it...just plain ugly! Upon further thinking I would of had to make some major adjustments to a vintage strap anyhow, so, I decided to make my own, surprise, surprise (yeah not really, I am a DIY junkie...as a matter of fact, I think I just heard my hubby's eyes rolling, hahaha). I will be making a few more of these out of various textured & unique fabrics to sell as well. If you are interested in one let me know! I love it & it is ridiculously comfortable & reversible!  :)

Furthermore, I have been pinning like crazy. Follow me here if ya like: My Pinterest!

In celebration of PhotoGeeks everywhere:

Here is my newest board where I am collecting seriously cool, funky, or vintage camera related goodies! If you know where else to find awesome photo related art or paraphernalia, drop me a link!

Happy Friday everyone, I'm off to see what I can shoot today...with my fabulous new strap of course!

The Skinny on the Mini

These Sessions will be available in both Houston & Corpus Christi!

Life, interrupted...

Oh hello there, yes, yes, I know you have missed me! Nevertheless, I am back from my excessive hiatus, my sincerest appologies, I will try to keep life from interuppting us again. You see, there I was just b-boppin right along and suddenly the rug was ripped out from under my feet. I fell flat on my rear only to hear a bit of a chuckle & a tap on the shoulder revealed none other than Life itself, "Hey, noone said this was gonna be easy, get up!" (K, so here I am ;) 

First off in general I would just like to share a few things pertaining to the business:
1. I am finally introducing photo prints, yay! Any size, canvas, mounted, framed, just about anything you can imagine I can do!
2. For the remainder of September I am offering special "mini photo sessions" These special shortened sessions can be booked with 3 different package selections starting at $55. I will have the flyer with full details up likely tomorrow.
3. I will be working over this week to add pages, with an about me & other special sections to the blog. Bear with me, I am new to blogging.
4. I am currently looking for a young French Bulldog to adopt or re-home (this has consumed so much of my time, I can't stop looking at them, seriously, OOOOOh they are so darn cute)...Oh, whoops...that has absolutely nothing to do with the business, sorry about that...and sorry about the next 2 hours you'll waste looking at Frenchies (P.S. Don't forget to look up Frenchies in costumes) ;)

Alright, so there is a little update. Didn't want you thinking I was abducted by Zombies or anything.
